The only real Dutch Kickboxing/Muay Thai instructor in Corpus Christi and South Texas. Freddy started his training in Corpus Christi in 1994. Starting in the traditional arts and then moving on to kickboxing because of the practicality of it and his growing love for the sport. He continued to improve his stand up game while practicing submission grappling in a time when not many were training mixed martial arts.

In 1999 Freddy decided to move to Seattle and train at the highly respected and world known Maurice Smith Kickboxing and Submission Center. Shortly after he began training at MSKSC, he was asked to train with and fight for the Maurice Smith amatuer fight team. At this time Freddy began training with Maurice, Roman Roytberg, Tsuyoshi Kohsaka, Francisco Filho, Glaube Feitosa, Ivan Salaverry, Josh Barnett, Randy Couture, Nicholas Pettas, Mark Miller and many other world class fighters that would come to train with Maurice. He also continued to train with his amateur fight team members; Tristan Wit, Scott Shaffer, John Polakowski and others.

Freddy is the only instructor in Corpus Christi that is trained by and directly under a UFC Champion and Multiple time World Kick-boxing and Muay Thai champion, Maurice Smith (UFC Heavyweight Champion / UFC Hall of Fame).
